different effects of DAM1. However, both USB and power cables must use HIFI-level
cables, and at least basic shock-absorbing isolation for LPX aluminum alloy. If you
have the budget, you can use high-end cables and shock-absorbing accessories, the
effect is more outstanding. Appropriate adjustments can be made for the following
situations:
1. The original decoding can dive, but after DAM1 is added, the subwoofer is
not enough: You can use stainless steel spikes + stainless steel gaskets like DAM1 for
LPX. At the same time, you can replace the original HIFI DC cable with a HIFI-grade
pure silver cable for adjustment. Of course, it can also be adjusted from the power
line, XLR line, USB, AES and other lines to achieve the desired level.
2. After DAM1 is added, the sound is too thin or too thick: If it is too thick, you
can adjust the LPX power cable/XLR cable/USB/AES/coaxial cable, etc., or replace the
original HIFI DC cable with a HIFI level sterling silver wire. At the same time, method
1 can also reduce the thickness. If it is too thin, you can use a thick and warm power
cable/USB cable/AES/coaxial cable/XLR cable to adjust.
3. Pursue a specific style: DAM1 itself is mainly neutral. If you want a specific
preferred style, you can compare which mode you like under NOS or ALL DSD. At the
same time, more adjustments are made from the wire material or shock absorption
to achieve your own style preferences.
Of course, you must be familiar with and understand the basic settings and
functions of DAM1, such as different modes, different sound styles, and the high and
low output level settings can also obviously affect the sound quality, and the output
phase is often serious in many systems. Affects realism and soundstage. Therefore, it
is better to optimize it after using it correctly and aging to a certain extent.
At the same time, we also found that some wrong usage methods or individual
special circumstances will cause problems with the sound of DAM1. The following
are some problems found temporarily, please pay special attention:
1) DAM1, LPX or PA1 references cannot be superimposed on any items,
otherwise it will have a more obvious impact on dynamics and air feeling.
2) In the case of using the default HIFI DC cable, it may not be suitable for DAM1
with a cable with a muffled sound, because the sound itself has a certain thickness.
3) LPX and PA1 references must optimize the shock absorption, otherwise it will
affect the performance of DAM1. It is recommended to refer to the simple matching
scheme at the official audio show.
4) If the LPX and PA1 references have slight continuous heating when there is
no load or PA1 is no-load; There may even be situations where the analytical power
is not as good as the customized version of LP1, so special attention should be paid
to this.
5) If LPX and PA1 have not been heated to a certain extent, the density,
looseness and fluency are slightly worse.
6) The wrong phase selection may cause the sound of the system to deteriorate
significantly. By default, the P phase mode is sufficient. It is not necessary to select
the N phase if the record is reversed. At the same time, the output of high and low
